Know before you go: Tungnath is situated at a high Himalayan altitude, so please check your health, breathing, and heart condition before the trek. It is advisable to practice walking and trekking in advance.; Chopta: This charming site, at an altitude of 2500 m, lies on the Gopeshwar-Ukhimath road, about 23 km from Ukhimath and 40 km from Gopeshwar. It affords breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges and is considered to be one of the beautiful sites of the Garhwal region.Tungnath: The sacred Tungnath Temple, at an altitude of 3680 meters atop Chandranath Parbat, is the highest shrine among the Panch Kedars and marks the site where the arm of Lord Shiva appeared. The magnificent temple, with a 16-door dome, enshrines a Shivlinga and an idol of Adi Guru Shankaracharya. The temple of Nanda Devi is another important shrine at Tungnath. The peak of Tungnath is considered very sacred, as it is the source of three springs that form the river Akashkamini. The amazing Akashlinga waterfall is truly spectacular, as it seems to descend directly from heaven. The shrine of Tungnath closes during the winter, and the priests move to Mukunath, about 19 km away.Chandrashila: The shrine of Chandrashila, or the "moon mountain," is another worthwhile site near Tungnath. The beautiful trek to Chandrashila passes through scenic surroundings and takes about 1 hour from the temple.
